Robyn Woof, Trans and Non-Binary Liberation Officer, has resigned from her positions at Edinburgh University following the appointment of Simon Fanshawe as Rector.

“It’s impossible for me to achieve anything campaigning against transphobia through the university’s official processes so I am resigning in protest and will instead begin a campaign of direct action”

BREAKING: Trans and Non-Binary Liberation Officer Robyn Woof resigns in protest of transphobia at university

Heard via Resisting Transphobia Edinburgh about these actions being organised against Simon Fanshawe, an anti-trans activist who helped set up the hate group LGB Alliance, being named Rector of Edinburgh University:

Open Letter on appointment of new Rector

Adding to this thread a very helpful point raised by @PamCrossland - many student elections have the option to Re-Open Nominations (RON).

Sounds just like what this needs - the option to vote on a candidate, even if there's only one, and seek other nominations if they aren't suitable. There's a whole heap of student-politics precedence.

Fanshawe should face such a process, and it should be the process going forward.

The Other Place is full of talk about Simon Fanshawe's appointment as Rector of UoE. When I search for his name here I get zero posts. Is search broken or is no-one interested?
